Congratulations to All the Winners in the 2018 SNA Election!

2018-03-12

Thanks to all those who voted in the recent election for 2018 national leadership positions! New leadership was elected for the SNA Board of Directors and the Leadership Development Committee. Some great talent will be stepping up to lead the association in the challenging years ahead.

It was exciting to be able to track voting on the interactive state map on the SNA website again this year. It showed the number and percentage of eligible voters who were voting during the election period. Voting participation varied per state. Ohio ranked as the state with the highest percentage of voters per membership at 45.23% AND recorded the highest total number of state voters at 617.

Overall, voting participation was higher than ever! The total number of votes for the 2018 election was 3,690, representing 7.02% of eligible voters. Voting was up 1,215 votes from the 2017 election. State leaders, continue to make it a challenge in 2019 to increase the number of voting members in your state!

Voting for leaders of the association is an important responsibility of membership. You have a voice in choosing SNA leadership for the future. School nutrition programs face challenges on many fronts and SNA leadership each year provides direction and leads actions to protect and strengthen the programs for the children they serve. Your vote matters!

A special thanks to all the 2018 ballot candidates! Each of them made an important commitment to serve school nutrition programs and you, our members, through leadership at SNA. We hope they will continue to share their leadership talent at SNA and consider future leadership opportunities.
